He served on the Board of Tennessee Valley Teen Challenge and was a bookkeeper many years for this ministry which was incredibly special to him.

Milt enjoyed his family, friends, and church family. He spent a great deal of time in the study of God's Word. He was known for his wisdom and kindness. Many have said he was a true gentleman. He had a gift of hospitality, always trying to make sure everyone was comfortable. Milt's greatest desire was that all of his loved ones would have a deep personal relationship with Jesus.
